Duke Ellington Lived on Riverside Drive in New York @ W. 106th St., which was later renamed "Duke Ellington Boulevard".
Haven't been keeping track of this one, much. Was it ever determined to be related to Google or any other sponsor?
Could it be somebody like Wei-Hwa Huang just trying their hand at an ARG?
Oh man, if Wei-Hwa Huang wrote an ARG, I think brains would explode all over the place. That being said, I'm still addicted to the puzzles he posts to iGoogle - I'd go nuts for an ARG from him.
We don't know who's behind it yet, but they're very well funded based on the advertising alone.
FWIW, there's also a Riverside Records company, and Ellington himself wrote a Suite called "The River". He did a lot of composing ANd for all the headache this email has given me, I"m enjoying the Jazz now that I'm listening to

EDIT 2: Or possibly a biblical reference:
Numbers 3:50, specifically.

ok I'm going to add my 2 cents, not that it amounts to much but you never know.
The email we got, or at least the one I got, from RK yesterday was like this:
Quote:
Nice work. I˘ve added you as a friend to the cause. Watch your inbox for further instructions.
Notice the ˘ instead of a '
The word we had to send was LAND
I can't get it out of my head that Yester day has to do with that email and innocence has something to do with the ˘ sign and it all has something to do with LAND. But my luck is the the email somehow got messed up and everyone else got the ' instead.
Yes´ter
a. 1. Last; last past; next before; of or pertaining to yesterday.
[An enemy] whom yester sun beheld
Mustering her charms.
- Dryden.
So Yester has more meaning than just the day before today. And in today's email when you look at the source Yester is set apart from day by the use of <span> which doesn't show up on the page or result in a space in the word.
That's about as far as I can go with that right now. I'm too tired.
On a side note, I found these today while doing research for my post here.
Sorry about that MrToasty. When I found the vimeo site, I had already logged onto Nate's blog. I guess that's why it opened for me.
As for "A Buddhist cries, while Duke Ellington is on the side of the river. Yesterday, 1,365 lost innocence."
To me it reads like one of those cryptic crossword puzzle clues. Just thinking out loud, maybe it's a play on the letters in randomknowledge...
Buddist's chant/ OM
cries/OW
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington /ED

Here's the link to the vimeo site http://www.vimeo.com/1032934 where Nate writes "Sorry about the night vision.". No password is needed. Silly boy tagged it with his nickname and "holomove"; that's not very clandestine.
Here's codewtrn8's profile http://www.vimeo.com/codewtrn8 (eta: with nothing on it.)
